ORDER  OF   SERVICE 


If  A  Hymn  may  be  sung. 
If  The  Minister  shall  say: 

IN  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the 
Holy  Ghost.      Amen. 

Beloved  in  the  Lord!  Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true 
heart,  and  confess  our  sins  unto  God  our  Father,  beseech- 
ing Him,  in  the  Name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  to  grant 
us  forgiveness. 

Almighty  God,  our  Maker  and  Redeemer,  we  poor  sin- 
ners confess  unto  Thee,  that  we  are  by  nature  sinful  and 
unclean,  and  that  we  have  sinned  against  Thee  by  thought, 
word,  and  deed.  Wherefore  we  flee  for  refuge  to  Thine 
infinite  mercy,  seeking  and  imploring  Thy  grace,  for  the 
sake  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

If  All  shall  say  with  the  Minister: 

OMOST  merciful  God,  Who  hast  given  Thine  Only- 
begotten  Son  to  die  for  us,  have  mercy  upon  us,  and 
for  His  sake  grant  us  remission  of  all  our  sins:  and  by 
Thy  Holy  Spirit  increase  in  us  true  knowledge  of  Thee, 
and  of  Thy  will,  and  true  obedience  to  Thy  Word,  to  the 
end  that  by  Thy  grace  we  may  come  to  everlasting  life* 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

1f  The  Minister  shall  say: 
ALMIGHTY  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  hath  had 
•**-  mercy  upon  us,  and  hath  given  His  Only  Son  to  die 
for  us,  and  for  His  sake  forgiveth  us  all  our  sins.  To  them 
that  believe  on  His  Name,  He  giveth  power  to  become 
the  sons  of  God,  and  bestoweth  upon  them  His  Holy 
Spirit.  He  that  believeth,  and  is  baptized,  shall  be  saved. 
Grant  this,  O  Lord,  unto  us  all.     Amen. 


A    PSALM. 

11  The  Gloria  Patri  shall  be  said  after  the  Psalm. 
If  The  Minister  shall  say  the  following  Prayer,  or  the  Prayer 

of  the  Sfdxn/t. 

DLESSED  Lord,  Who  hast  caused  all  Holy  Scriptures 
*-*  to  be  written  for  our  learning:  Grant  that  we  may 
in  such  wise  hear  them,  read,  mark,  learn,  and  inwardly 
digest  them,  that  by  patience  and  comfort  of  Thy  holy 
Word,  we  may  embrace,  and  ever  hold  fast  the  blessed 
hope  of  everlasting  life,  which  Thou  hast  given  us  in  our 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ.     Amen. 

HOLY    SCRIPTURE. 

H  All  shall  say  the  Apostles1  Creed. 
T  BELIEVE  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of 
•*-  heaven  and  earth.  And  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son, 
our  Lord;  Who  was  conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  Born  of 
the  Virgin  Mary;  Suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate,  Was 
crucified,  dead,  and  buried;  He  descended  into  hell;  The 
third  day  He  rose  again  from  the  dead;  He  ascended  into 
heaven,  And  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father 
Almighty;  From  thence  He  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick 
and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  The  holy  Christian  Church, 
the  Communion  of  Saints;  The  Forgiveness  of  sins;  The 
Resurrection  of  the  body;  And  the  Life  everlasting. 
Amen.

0  MERCIFUL   Father  in  heaven,  Who  holdest  in  Thy 
hand  all  the  might  of  men  and  of  Whom  is  all  rule 
and  authority  m  the  kingdoms  of  the  world:  We  humbly 

beseech  Thee,  graciously  regard  Thy  servant,  N 

the   President   of  the   United  States,  and  all  others  in 
6 


authority  over  us,  that,  having  received  the  sword  as 
Thy  ministers,  they  may  bear  it  according  to  Thy  com- 
mandment, and  lead  our  Nation  in  the  way  of  righteous- 
ness. 

Let  Thy  protection  be  upon  all  those  who  are  in  the 
service  of  our  Country,  guarding  them  and  us  from  all 
harm  and  danger  of  body  and  soul;  sustain  and  comfort 
those  at  home  in  their  hours  of  loneliness  and  anxiety; 
prepare  the  dying  for  death  and  the  living  for  Thy  ser- 
vice; give  success  to  our  arms  on  land  and  sea,  and  grant 
us  and  all  nations  a  speedy,  just  and  lasting  peace,  to  the 
glory  of  Thy  Name  and  the  coming  of  Thy  Kingdom; 
through  Jesus  Christ,  Thy  Son,  our  Lord.     Amen. 

If  Here  may  be  said  other  Prayers.     All  shall  say: 

OUR  Father,  Who  art  in  heaven;  Hallowed  by  Thy 
Name;  Thy  kingdom  come;  Thy  will  be  done  on 
earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven;  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread; 
And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  as  we  forgive  those  who 
trespass  against  us;  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation; 
But  deliver  us  from  evil;  For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and 
the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen.

Holy  Father,  Almighty,  Everlasting  God:

Testament  in  My  Blood,  which  is  shed  for  you,  and  for 
many,  for  the  remission  of  sins;  this  do,  as  oft  as  ye  drink 
it,  in  remembrance  of  Me. 

The  Peace  of  the  Lord  be  with  you  alway.     Amen.

SELECTION  OF  PSALMS  AND  SCRIP- 
TURE PASSAGES 


Psalm  1. 

BLESSED  is  the  man  that  walk- 
eth  not  in  the  counsel  of  the 
ungodly:  nor  standeth  in  the  way 
of  sinners,  nor  sitteth  in  the  seat 
of  the  scornful. 

But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of 
the  Lord:  and  in  His  law  doth  he 
meditate  day  and  night. 

And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  plant- 
ed by  the  rivers  of  water:  that 
bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in  his 
season. 

His  leaf  also  shall  not  wither: 
and  whatsoever  he  doeth  shall 
prosper. 

The  ungodly  are  not  so:  but 
are  like  the  chaff  which  the  wind 
driveth  away. 

Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not 
.stand  in  the  judgment:  nor  sinners 
in  the  congregation  of  the  right- 
eous. 

For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way 
of  the  righteous:  but  the  way  of 
the  ungodly  shall  perish. 

Psalm  19. 

THE  heavens  declare  the  glory  of 
God:   and  the  firmament  shew- 
eth  His  handywork. 

Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech: 
and     night     unto     night     Bheweth 

knowledge. 
There  is  no  speech  nor  language: 

where  their  voire  is  not  heard. 

The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect. 
converting  the  soul:  the  testimony 

of  the   LORD  if   MIPS,   making  wise 
the  simple. 

I  he  statutes  of  the  Lord  are 
right,  rejoicing  the  heai  I :  the  com- 


mandment of  the  LordIs  pure,  en- 
lightening the  eyes. 

The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean, 
enduring  forever:  the  judgments 
of  the  Lord  are  true  and  righteous 
altogether. 

More  to  be  desired  are  they  than 
gold,  yea,  than  much  fine  gold: 
sweeter  also  than  honey  and  the 
honeycomb. 

Moreover  by  them  is  Thy  ser- 
vant warned:  and  in  keeping  of 
them  there  is  great  reward. 

Who  can  understand  his  errors: 
cleanse  Thou  me  from  secret  faults. 

Keep  back  Thy  servant  also 
from  presumptuous  sins,  let  them 
not  have  dominion  over  me:  then 
shall  I  be  upright,  and  I  shall  be 
innocent  from  the  great  tr 
sion. 

Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and 
the  meditation  of  my  heart,  he  ac- 
ceptable in  Thy  sight:  0  LORD, 
my  Strength,  and  my  Redeemer. 

Psalm    24. 

THE  Lord  is  my  Shepherd:  I 
shall  not  want. 

He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in 
green  pastures:  He  leadeth  me 
beside  the  still  waters. 

He  restoreth  my  soul:  He  lead- 
eth me  in  the  paths  of  richtcous- 
ness  for  His  Name's  sake. 

Yea,  though  1  walk  through  the 
valley  of  the  shadow  of  death,  I 

will  fear  no  evil:  for  Thou  art  with 
me,  Thy  rod  and  Thy  staff  they 
comfort   me. 

Thou   preparesi   a  table  before 

mi-  in  the  presence  of  mine  enemies: 


12 


Thou  anoint  est  my  head  wit  It  oil, 
my  cup  runneth  over. 

Surely  goodness  and  mercy  shall 
follow  me  all  the  days  of  my  life: 
and  I  will  dwell  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord  for  ever. 

Psalm  24. 

THE  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and  the 
fulness  thereof:  the  world, 
and  they  that  dwell  therein. 

For  He  hath  founded  it  upon  the 
seas:  and  established  it  upon  the 
floods. 

Who  shall  ascend  into  the  hill  of 
the  Lord:  or  who  shall  stand  in 
His  holy  place? 

He  that  hath  clean  hands,  and  a 
pure  heart:  who  hath  not  lifted  up 
his  soul  unto  vanity,  nor  sworn  de- 
ceitfully. 

He  shall  receive  the  blessing 
from  the  Lord:  and  righteousness 
from  the  God  of  his  salvation. 

This  is  the  generation  of  them 
that  seek  Him:  that  seek  thy  face, 
O  Jacob. 

Lift  up  your  heads,  O  ye  gates, 
and  be  ye  lift  up,  ye  everlasting 
doors:  and  the  King  of  glory  shall 
come  in. 

Who  is  this  King  of  glory:  The 
Lord  strong  and  mighty,  the  Lord 
mighty  in  battle. 

Lift  up  your  heads,  O  ye  gates, 
even  lift  them  up,  ye  everlasting 
doors:  and  the  King  of  glory  shall 
come  in. 

Who  is  this  King  of  glory:  The 
Lord  of  hosts,  He  is  the  King  of 
glory. 

Psalm  32. 

BLESSED  is  he  whose  transgres- 
sion is  forgiven:    whose  sin  is 
covered. 

Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom 
the  Lord  imputeth  not  iniquity: 
and  in  whose  spirit  there  is  no 
guile. 

I    acknowledged    my    sin    unto 


'1  'hc(>:  and  mine  iniquity  have  I 
not  hid. 

I  said,  I  will  confess  my  trans- 
gressions unto  the  Lord:  and 
Thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my 
sin. 

For  this  shall  every  one  that  is 
godly  pray  unto  Thee  in  a  time 
when  Thou  may  est  be  found:  sure- 
ly in  the  floods  of  great  waters  they 
shall  not  come  nigh  unto  him. 

Thou  art  my  hiding-place,  Thou 
shalt  preserve  me  from  trouble: 
Thou  shalt  compass  me  about  with 
songs  of  deliverance. 

I  will  instruct  thee  and  teach 
thee  in  the  way  which  thou  shalt 
go:  I  will  guide  thee  with  mine  eye. 

Many  sorrows  shall  be  to  the 
wicked:  but  he  that  trusteth  in  the 
Lord,  mercy  shall  compass  him 
about. 

Be  glad  in  the  Lord,  and  rejoice, 
ye  righteous:  and  shout  for  joy, 
all  ye  that  are  upright  in  heart. 

Psalm  46. 

GOD  is  our  Refuge  and  Strength: 
a  very  present  help  in  trouble. 

Therefore  will  not  we  fear, 
though  the  earth  be  removed:  and 
though  the  mountains  be  carried 
into  the  midst  of  the  sea; 

Though  the  waters  thereof  roar 
and  be  troubled:  though  the 
mountains  shake  with  the  swelling 
thereof. 

There  is  a  river,  the  streams 
whereof  shall  make  glad  the  city 
of  God:  the  holy  place  of  the 
tabernacles  of  the  Most  High.  ' 

God  is  in  the  midst  of  her,  she 
shall  not  be  moved:  God  shall 
help  her,  and  that  right  early. 

The  heathen  raged,  the  king- 
doms were  moved:  He  uttered  His 
voice,  the  earth  melted. 

The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us: 
the  God  of  Jacob  is  our  Refuge. 

Come,  behold  the  works  of  the 
Lord:  what  desolations  He  hath 
made  in  the  earth. 


13 


He  maketh   wars  to  oaSM  unto 

the  end  of  the  earth:   He  breaketh 

the  bow,  and  cutteth  the  spear  in 
sunder,  He  burnetii  the  chariot  in 
the  fire. 

Be  still,  and  Know  that  I  am 
God:  I  will  be  exalted  among  the 
heathen,  I  will  be  exalted  in  the 
earth. 

The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us: 
the  God  of  Jacob  is  our  Refuge. 

Psalm  67. 

GOD   be   merciful   unto  us,   and 
bless  us:   and  cause  His  face  to 
shine  upon  us. 

That  Thy  way  may  be  known 
upon  earth:  Thy  saving  health 
among  all  nations. 

Let  the  people  praise  Thee,  O 
God:  let  all  the  people  praise  Thee. 

0  let  the  nations  be  glad  and 
sing  for  joy:  for  Thou  shalt  judge 
the  people  righteously,  and  govern 
the  nations  upon  earth. 

Lei  the  people  praise  Thee,  0 
God:  let  all  the  people  praise  Thee. 

Then  shall  the  earth  yield  her 
increase:  and  God,  even  our  own 
God,  shall  bless  us. 

God  shall  bless  us:  and  all  the 
ends  of  the  earth  shall  fear  Him. 

Psalm  91. 

HE  that  dwelleth  in  the  secret 
place  of  the  Most  High:  shall 
abide  under  the  shadow  of  the  Al- 
mighty. 

1  will  say  of  the  Lord,  He  is  my 
Refuge  and  my  Fortress:  my  God, 
in  Him  will  I  trust. 

Surely  He  shall  deliver  thee  from 
the  cnare  of  the  fowler:  and  from 
the  noisome  pestilence. 

He  shall  cover  thee  with  His 
feathers,  and  under  His  fringe 
shalt  thou  trust:  His  truth  shall 
DC  thy  shield  and  buckler. 

Thou  shall  not  D€  afraid  for  the 
terror  by  night:    QOl   fOI  the  arrow 

that  flieth  by  day; 

Nor  for  the  pestilence  that  walk- 


eth  in  darkness:    nor  for  the  de- 
struction that  iraateifa  at  noonday. 

Because  thou  hast  made  the 
Lord,  which  is  my  Refuge:  even 
the  Most    High,  thy  habitation; 

There  shall  no  evil  befall  thee: 
neither  shall  any  plague  come  nigh 
thy  dwelling. 

For  He  shall  nive  His  angels 
charge  over  thee:  to  keep  thee  in 
all  thy  ways. 

They  shall  bear  thee  up  in  their 
hands:  lest  thou  dash  thy  foot 
against  a  stone. 

Thou  shalt  tread  upon  the  lion 
and  adder:  the  young  lion  and  the 
dragon  shalt  thou  trample  under 
feet. 

Because  he  hath  set  his  love 
upon  Me,  therefore  will  I  deliver 
him:  I  will  set  him  on  high,  be- 
cause he  hath  known  My  Name. 

He  shall  call  upon  Me,  and  I 
will  answer  him:  I  will  be  with  him 
in  trouble,  I  will  deliver  him,  and 
honor  him. 

With  long  life  will  I  satisfy  him: 
and  show  him  My  salvation. 

Psalm   100. 

MAKIv  a  joyful  noise  unto  the 
Lord,  all  ye  lands:  serve  the 
Lord  with  gladness,  come  before 
His  presence  with  singing. 

Know  ye  that  the  Lord  He  is 
God:  t  is  He  that  hath  made  us, 
and  no  we  ourselves,  we  are  His 
people,  |  id  the  sheep  of  His  pas- 
ture. 

Enter  into  His  gates  with 
thanksgiving,  and  into  His  courts 
with  praise:  be  thankiul  unto 
Him,  and  bless  His  Name. 

For  the  Lord  is  good,  His 
mercy  is  everlasting:  and  His 
truth  endureth  to  all  generations. 

Psalm  103. 

BLESS    tin-    Loud,    0    my    soul: 
and  all  that  is  within  im  . 
I  lis  holy   Name. 


14 


Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul:  and 
forget  not  all  His  benefits; 

Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniqui- 
ties:  Who  healeth  all  thy  diseases; 

Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from 
destruction:  Who  crowneth  thee 
with  lovingkindness  and  tender 
mercies; 

Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth  with 
good  things:  so  that  thy  youth  is 
renewed  like  the  eagle's. 

The  Lord  executeth  righteous- 
ness and  judgment:  for  all  that 
are  oppressed. 

The  Lord  is  merciful  and  gra- 
cious: slow  to  anger,  and  plen- 
teous in  mercy. 

He  will  not  always  chide:  neither 
will  He  keep  His  anger  for  ever. 

He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after 
our  sins:  nor  rewarded  us  accord- 
ing to  our  iniquities. 

For  as  the  heaven  is  high  above 
the  earth:  so  great  is  His  mercy  to- 
ward them  that  fear  Him. 

As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the 
west:  so  far  hath  He  removed  our 
transgressions  from  us. 

Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  chil- 
dren: so  the  Lord  pitieth  them 
that  fear  Him. 

Bless  the  Lord,  all  His  works  in 
all  places  of  His  dominion:  bless 
the  Lord,  O  my  soul. 

Psalm  107. 

OGIVE  thanks  unto  the  Lord, 
for  He  is  good:  for  His  mercy 
endureth  forever. 

O  that  men  would  praise  the 
Lord  for  His  goodness:  and  for 
His  wonderful  works  to  the  chil- 
dren of  men. 

They  that  go  down  to  the  sea  in 
ships:  that  do  business  in  great 
waters; 

These  sec  the  works  of  the  Lord: 
and  His  wonders  in  the  deep. 

For  He  commandeth  and  raiscth 
the  stormy  wind:  which  lifteth  up 
the  waves  thereof. 

They  mount  up  to  the  heavens, 


they  go  down  again  to  the  depths: 
their  soul  is  melted  because  of 
trouble. 

They  reel  to  and  fro,  and  stag- 
ger like  a  drunken  man:  and  are 
at  their  wit's  end. 

Then  they  cry  unto  the  Lord  in 
their  trouble:  and  He  bringeth 
them  out  of  their  distresses. 

He  maketh  the  storm  a  calm;  so 
that  the  waves  thereof  are  still. 

Then  are  they  glad  because  they 
be  quiet:  so  He  bringeth  them 
unto  their  desired  haven. 

0  that  men  would  praise  the 
Lord  for  His  goodness:  and  for 
His  wonderful  works  to  the  chil- 
dren of  men. 

Psalm  119. 

WHEREWITHAL  shall  a  young 
man  cleanse  his  way:  by 
taking  heed  thereto  according  to 
Thy  Word. 

With  my  whole  heart  have  I 
sought  Thee:  O  let  me  not  wander 
from  Thy  commandments. 

Thy  Word  have  I  hid  in  mine 
heart:  that  I  might  not  sin  against 
Thee. 

Blessed  art  Thou,  O  Lord: 
teach  me  Thy  statutes. 

With  my  lips  have  I  declared: 
all  the  judgments  of  Thy  mouth. 

1  have  rejoiced  in  the  way  of 
Thy  testimonies:  as  much  as  in 
all  riches. 

I  will  meditate  in  Thy  precepts: 
and  have  respect  unto  Thy  ways. 

I  will  delight  myself  in  Thy 
statutes:  I  will  not  forget  Thy 
Word. 

Psalm   121. 

I  WILL  lift  up  mine  eyes  unto  the 
hills:    from  whence  cometh  my 
help. 

My  help  cometh  from  the  Lord: 
which  made  heaven  and  earth. 

He  will  not  suffer  thy  foot  to  be 
moved:  He  that  keepeth  thee  will 
not  slumber. 


15 


Behold,  He  that  keepeth  Israel; 

shall  neither  slumber  nor  sleep. 

The  Lord  is  thy  keeper:  the 
Lord  is  thy  shade  upon  thy  right 
hand. 

The  sun  shall  not  smite  thee  by 
day:    nor  the  moon  by  night. 

The  Lord  shall  preserve  thee 
from  all  evil:  He  shall  preserve 
thy  soul. 

The  Lord  shall  preserve  thy 
going  out  and  thy  coming  in:  from 
this  time  forth,  and  even  for  ever- 
more. 

Psalm  130. 

OUT  of  the  depths:  have  I  cried 
unto  Thee,  O  Lord. 

Lord,  hear  my  voice:  let  Thine 
ears  be  attentive  to  the  voice  of  my 
supplications. 

If  Thou,  Lord,  shouldest  mark 
iniquities:  O  Lord,  who  shall 
stand? 

But  there  is  forgiveness  with 
Thee:  that  Thou  mayest  be  feared. 

I  wait  for  the  Lord,  my  soul 
doth  wait:  and  in  His  Word  do  I 
hope. 

My  soul  waiteth  for  the  Lord 
more  than  they  that  watch  for  the 
morning:  I  say,  more  than  they 
that  watch  for  the  morning. 

Let  Israel  hope  in  the  Lord,  for 
with  the  Lord  there  is  mercy :  and 
with  Him  is  plenteous  redemp- 
tion. 

And  He  shall  redeem  Israel: 
from  all  his  iniquities. 

Psalm   139. 

0LORD,  Thou  hast  searched  me, 
and  known  me:  Thou  knowest 
my  downsitting  and  mine  up- 
rising. Thou  understandesl  my 
thought  afar  off. 

Thou  compassest  my  path  and 
my  lying  down:  and  art  ac- 
quainted with  :ill  my  ways. 

For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my 
tongue:  but,  l<»,  0  Loud,  Thou 
knowest  it  altogether. 


Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and 
and  laid  Thine  hand  upon 
me. 

Such  knowledge  is  too  wonderful 
for  me:  it  is  high,  I  cannot  attain 
unto  it. 

Whither  shall  I  go  from  Thy 
Spirit:  or  whither  shall  I  flee  from 
Thy  presence? 

If  I  ascend  up  into  heaven,  Thou 
art  there:  if  I  make  my  bed  in  hell, 
behold,  Thou  art  there. 

If  I  take  the  wings  of  the  morn- 
ing: and  dwell  in  the  uttermost 
parts  of  the  sea; 

Even  there  shall  Thy  hand  lead 
me:  and  Thy  right  hand  shall  hold 
me. 

If  I  say,  Surely  the  darkness 
shall  cover  me:  even  the  night 
shall  be  light  about  me. 

Yea,  the  darkness  hideth  not 
from  Thee,  but  the  night  shineth 
as  the  day:  the  darkness  and  the 
light  are  both  alike  to  Thee. 

Search  me,  O  God,  and  know  my 
heart:  try  me,  and  know  my 
thoughts, 

And  see  if  there  be  any  wicked 
way  in  me:  and  lead  me  in  the 
way  everlasting. 

Psalm   145. 

I  WILL  extol  Thee,  my  God,  O 
King:  and  I  will  bless  Thy 
Name  for  ever  and  ever 

Every  day  will  I  bless  Thee: 
and  I  will  praise  Thy  Name  for 
ever  and  ever. 

Great  is  the  Lord,  and  greatly  to 
be  praised:  and  His  great  ne^  M 
unsearchable. 

One  generation  shall  praise  Thy 
works  to  another:  and  shall  declare 
Thy  mighty  acts. 

I  will  speak  of  the  glorious  honor 
<>f  Thy  majesty:   and  of  Thy  won 

droufl  works. 

And     men     shall     Bpeak     of     the 

might  of  Th>    terrible  sol 
I  will  declare  Thy  greatness, 


16 


saith  unto  Peter,  Simon,  slecpest 
thou?  couldest  not  thou  watch  one 
hour?  Watch  ye  and  pray,  lest  ye 
enter  into  temptation.  The  spirit 
truly  is  ready,  but  the  flesh  is 
weak.  And  again  he  went  away, 
and  prayed,  and  spake  the  same 
words.  And  when  he  returned,  he 
found  them  asleep  again,  (for  their 
eyes  were  heavy,)  neither  wist  they 
what  to  answer  him.  And  he  com- 
eth  the  third  time,  and  saith  untf 
them,  Sleep  on  now,  and  take  your 
rest :  it  is  enough,  the  hour  is  come ; 
behold,  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed 
into  the  hands  of  sinners. 

John  19:16-19,  25-30. 


They  shall  abundantly  utter  the 
memory  of  Thy  great  goodness: 
and  .-hall  sing  of  Thy  righteous- 
ness. 

The  Lord  is  gracious,  and  full  of 
compassion:  slow  to  anger,  and  of 
great  mercy. 

The  Lord  is  good  to  all:  and 
His  tender  mercies  are  over  all 
His  works. 

All  Thy  works  shall  praise  Thee, 
OLord:  and  Thy  saints  shall  bless 
Thee. 

Th«y  shall  speak  of  the  glory  of 
Thy  kingdom:  and  talk  of  Thy 
power; 

To  make  known  to  the  sons  of 
men  His  mighty  acts:  and  the 
glorious  majesty  of  His  kingdom. 

Thy  kingdom  is  an  everlasting    FTHHEN   delivered  he   him  there-

dureth  throughout  all  generations. 

The  Lord  upholdeth  all  that 
fall:  and  raiseth  up  all  those  that 
be  bowed  down. 

The  eyes  of  all  wait  upon  Thee: 
and  Thou  givest  them  their  meat 
in  due  season. 

Thou  openest  Thine  hand:  and 
satisfiest  the  desire  of  every  living 
thing. 

Mark  14:32-41. 

AND  they  came  to  a  place  which 
was  named  Gethsemane:  and 
he  saith  to  his  disciples,  Sit  ye  here, 
while  I  shall  pray.  And  he  taketh 
with  him  Peter  and  James  and 
John,  and  began  to  be  sore  amaz- 
ed, and  to  be  very  heavy;  and 
Mkith  unto  them,  My  soul  is  ex- 
ceeding sorrowful  unto  death: 
tarry  ye  here,  and  watch.  And  he 
went  forward  a  little,  and  fell  on 
the  ground,  and  prayed  that,  if  it 
were  possible,  the  hour  might  pass 
from  him.  And  he  said,  Abba, 
Father,  all  things  are  possible  unto 
thee;  take  away  this  cup  from  me: 
nevertheless  not  what  I  will,  but 
what  thou  wilt.  And  he  rometh, 
and    findeth    them    sleeping,    and 


And  they  took  Jesus,  and  led  him 
away.  And  he  bearing  his  cross 
went  forth  into  a  place  called  the 
place  of  a  skull,  which  is  called 
in  the  Hebrew  Golgotha:  where 
they  crucified  him,  and  two  other 
with  him,  on  either  side  one,  and 
Jesus  in  the  midst.  And  Pilate 
wrote  a  title,  and  put  it  on  the 
cross.  And  the  writing  was. 
JESUS  OF  NAZARETH,  THE 
KING  OF  THE  JEWS.  Now 
there  stood  by  the  cross  of  Jesus 
his  mother,  and  his  mother's  sister. 
Mary  the  wTife  of  Cleophas,  and 
Mary  Magdalene.  When  Jesus 
therefore  saw  his  mother,  and  the 
disciple  standing  by,  whom  he 
loved,  he  saith  unto  his  mother, 
Woman,  behold  thy  son!  Then 
saith  he  to  the  disciple,  Behold  thy 
mother!  And  from  that  hour  that 
disciple  took  her  unto  his  own 
home.  After  this,  Jesus  know- 
ing that  all  things  were  now  ac- 
complished, t  hat  the  scripture 
might  be  fulfilled,  saith,  I  thirst. 
Now  there  was  set  a  vessel  full  of 
vinegar:  and  they  filled  a  spunge 
with  vinegar,  and  put  it  upon  hys- 
sop,  and    put    it    to    his    mouth. 


17 


When  Jesus  therefore  had  received 

the  vinegar,  he  said,  It  is  finished: 
and  he  bowed  hi.-  head,  and  gave 
up  the  ghost. 

Matthew  28:1-8. 

IN  the  end  of  the  sabbath,  as  it 
began  to  dawn  toward  the  first 
day  of  the  week,  came  Mary  Mag- 
dalene and  the  other  Mary  to  see 
the  sepulchre.  And,  behold,  there 
was  a  great  earthquake:  for  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  descended  from 
heaven,  and  came  and  rolled  back 
the  stone  from  the  door,  and  sat 
upon  it.  His  countenance  was 
like  lightning,  and  his  raiment 
white  as  snow:  and  for  fear  of 
him  the  keepers  did  shake,  and  be- 
came as  dead  men.  And  the  angel 
answered  and  said  unto  the  women, 
Fear  not  ye:  for  I  know  that  ye 
seek  Jesus,  which  was  crucified. 
He  is  not  here:  for  he  is  risen,  as 
he  said.  Come,  see  the  place  where 
the  Lord  lay.  And  go  quickly,  and 
tell  his  disciples  that  he  is  risen 
from  the  dead;  and,  behold,  he  go- 
eth  before  you  into  Galilee;  there 
shall  ye  see  him:  lo,  I  have  told 
you.  And  they  departed  quickly 
from  the  sepulchre  with  fear  and 
great  joy;  and  did  run  to  bring  his 
disciples  word. 

John  3:16-21. 

FOR  God  so  loved  the  world, 
that  he  gave  his  only  begotten 
Son,  that  whosoever  believeth  in 
him  should  not  perish,  but  have 
everlasting  life.  For  God  sent 
not  his  Son  into  the  world  to  con- 
demn the  world;  but  that  the  world 
through  him  might  be  saved. 
He  that  believeth  on  him  is  not 
condemned:  but  he  that  believeth 
not  is  condemned  already,  beeaUM 
he  hath  not  believed  in  the  name 

of  the  only  begotten  Son  of  God. 

And  this  is  the  condemnation, 
that  light  is  come  into  the  world, 


and  men  loved  darkness  rather 
than  light,  because  their  deeds 
were  evil.  For  every  one  that  do- 
eth  evil  hateth  the  light,  neither 
cometh  to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds 
should  be  reproved.  But  he  that 
doeth  truth  cometh  to  the  light, 
that  his  deeds  may  be  made  mani- 
fest, that  they  are  wrought  in  God. 

Luke  15:11-24. 

AND  he  said,  A  certain  man  had 
two  sons:  and  the  younger  of 
them  said  to  his  father,  Father, 
give  me  the  portion  of  goods  that 
falleth  to  me.  And  he  divided  unto 
them  his  living.  And  not  many 
days  after  the  younger  son  gath- 
ered all  together,  and  took  his  jour- 
ney into  a  far  country,  and  there 
wasted  his  substance  with  riotous 
living.  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a  mighty  famine  in  that 
land;  and  he  began  to  be  in  want. 
And  he  went  and  joined  himself  to 
a  citizen  of  that  country;  and  he 
sent  him  into  his  fields  to  feed 
swine.  And  he  would  fain  have 
filled  his  belly  with  the  husks  that 
the  swine  did  cat;  and  no  man  gave 
unto  him.  And  when  he  came  to 
himself,  he  said,  How  many  hired 
servants  of  my  father's  have  bread 
enough  and  to  spare,  and  I  perish 
with  hunger!  I  will  arise  and  go  to 
my  father,  and  will  say  unto  him, 
Father,  I  have  sinned  against  hea- 
ven, and  before  thee,  and  am  HO 
more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son: 
make  me  as  one  of  thy  hired  ser- 
vants. And  he  arose,  and  came  to 
his  father.  But  when  he  was  yet 
a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw  him, 
and  had  compassion,  and  ran,  and 
fell  on  his  neek,  and  kissed  him. 
And  the  son  said  unto  him,  Father, 
I  have  .sinned  against  heaven,  and 
in  thy  sijjht,  and  am  no  more  wor- 
thy tO  be  railed  thy  son.  Hut  the 
father  said  to  his  servants,  Bring 
forth  the  best  robe,  and  put  it  on 


18 


him;  and  put  a  ring  on  his  hand 
and  shoes  on  his  feet:  and  bring 
hither  the  fatted  calf,  and  kill  it; 
and  let  us  eat,  and  be  merry:  for 
this  my  son  was  dead,  and  is  alive 
again;  he  was  lost,  and  is  found. 

John  4:13-15,  20-24. 

JESUS  answered  and  said  unto 
her,  Whosoever  drinketh  of  this 
water  shall  thirst  again:  but  who- 
soever drinketh  of  the  water  that 
I  shall  give  him  shall  never  thirst; 
but  the  water  that  I  shall  give  him 
shall  be  in  him  a  well  of  water 
springing  up  into  everlasting  life. 
The  woman  saith  unto  him,  Sir, 
give  me  this  water,  that  I  thirst 
not,  neither  come  hither  to  draw. 
Our  fathers  worshipped  in  this 
mountain;  and  ye  say,  that  in 
Jerusalem  is  the  place  where  men 
ought  to  worship.  Jesus  saith  un- 
to her,  Woman,  believe  me,  the 
hour  cometh,  when  ye  shall  neither 
in  this  mountain,  nor  yet  at  Jeru- 
salem, worship  the  Father.  Ye 
worship  ye  know  not  what:  we 
know  what  we  worship :  for  salva- 
tion is  of  the  Jews.  .  But  the  hour 
cometh,  and  now  is,  when  the  true 
worshippers  shall  worship  the 
Father  in  spirit  and  in  truth:  for 
the  Father  seeketh  such  to  worship 
him.  God  is  a  Spirit:  and  they 
that  worship  him  must  worship 
him  in  spirit  and  in  truth. 

Matt.  25:14-30. 

FOR  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  as 
a  man  travelling  into  a  far  coun- 
try, who  called  his  own  servants, 
and  delivered  unto  them  his  goods. 
And  unto  one  he  gave  five  talents, 
to  another  two,  and  to  another  one; 
to  every  man  according  to  his  sev- 
eral ability;  and  straightway  took 
his  journey.  Then  he  that  had  re- 
ceived the  five  talents  went  and 
traded  with  the  same,  and  made 
them  other  five  talents.    And  like- 


wise he  that  had  received  two,  he 
also  gained  other  two.  But  he 
that  had  received  one  went  and 
digged  in  the  earth,  and  hid  his 
lord's  money.  After  a  long  time 
the  lord  of  those  servants  cometh, 
and  reckoneth  with  them.  And  so 
he  that  had  received  five  talents 
came^and  brought  other  five  tal- 
ents, saying,  Lord,  thou  deliver- 
edst  unto  me  five  talents:  behold, 
I  have  gained  beside  them  five 
talents  more.  His  lord  said  unto 
him,  Well  done,  thou  good  and 
faithful  servant:  thou  hast  been 
faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will 
make  thee  ruler  over  many  things: 
enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy 
lord.  He  also  that  had  received 
two  talents  came  and  said,  Lord 
thou  deliveredst  unto  me  two 
talents:  behold,  I  have  gained  two 
other  talents  beside  them.  His 
lord  said  unto  him,  Well  done, 
good  and  faithful  servant;  thou 
hast  been  faithful  over  a  few 
things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things:  enter  thou  into  the 
joy  of  thy  lord.  Then  he  which 
had  received  the  one  talent  came 
and  said,  Lord,  I  knew  thee  that 
thou  art  an  hard  man,  reaping 
where  thou  hast  not  sown,  and 
gathering  where  thou  hast  not 
strawed:  and  I  was  afraid,  and 
went  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the 
earth:  lo,  there  thou  hast  that  is 
thine.  His  lord  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  Thou  wicked  and  sloth- 
ful servant,  thou  knewest  that  1 
reap  where  I  sowed  not,  and  gather 
where  I  have  not  strawed:  thou 
oughtest  therefore  to  have  put  my 
money  to  the  exchangers,  and  then 
at  my  coming  I  should  have  received 
mine  own  with  usury.  Take  there- 
fore the  talent  from  him,  and  give 
it  unto  him  which  hath  ten  talents. 
For  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall 
be  given,  and  he  shall  have  abun- 
dance: but  from  him  that  hath  not 
shaU    be   taken   away   even    that 


X9 


which  be  hath.  Ami  east  ye  the 
unprofitable    servant    into    outer 

darkness:  there  shall  be  creeping 
and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

John  5:24-30,  39. 

VERILY,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
He  that  heareth  my  word,  and 
believeth  on  him  that  sent  me, 
hath  everlasting  life,  and  shall  not 
come  into  condemnation;  but  is 
passed  from  death  unto  life.  Verily, 
verily,  1  Bay  unto  you,  The  hour  is 
coming,  and  now  is,  when  the  dead 
shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of 
Cod:  and  they  that  hear  shall  live. 
For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  him- 
self; so  hath  he  given  to  the  Son 
to  have  life  in  himself;  and  hath 
given  him  authority  to  execute 
judgment  also,  because  he  is  the 
Son  of  man.  Marvel  not  at  this: 
for  the  hour  is  coming,  in  the  which 
all  thai  are  in  the  graves  shall  hear 
his  voice,  and  shall  come  forth; 
they  that  have  done  good,  unto 
the  resurrection  of  life;  and  they 
that  have  done  evil,  unto  the  resur- 
rection of  damnation.  I  can  of 
mine  own  self  do  nothing:  as  1 
hear,  I  judge:  and  my  judgment  is 
just;  because  I  seek  not  mine  own 
will,  but  the  will  of  the  Father 
which  hath  sent  me.  Search  the 
scriptures;  for  in  them  ye  think  ye 
have  eternal  life:  and  they  are 
they  which  testify  of  me. 

John   11:21-27,  41-1  I. 

THEN  said   Martha   unto  Jesus. 
Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here, 
my   brother   had    not    died;    but    I 

know,  that  even  now,  whatsoever 

thou  wilt  ask  oi  (  tod,  (  tod  will  give 

it  thee.    Jesus  Baith  unto  her,  Thy 

brother  shall  rise  again.  Martha 
saith    unto    him,    1    know    that    he 

■hall  us*-  again  in  the  resurrection 
at  the  last  day.  Jesus  laid  unto 
her,   I   am   the   resurrection,   and 

the  lite:    he  that    believeth    in    me, 


though  he  were  dead,  yet  shall  he 
live:    and    whosoever   hveth   and 

believeth  in  me  shall  new-r  die. 
Better  est  thou  this?  She  saith  un- 
to him,  Yea,  Lord:  I  believe  that 
thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God, 
which  should  come  into  the  world. 
Then  they  took  away  the  stone 
from  the  place  where  the  dead  w  a- 
laid.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  hi 
and  said,  Father,  I  thank  thee  that 
thou  hast  heard  me.  And  1  knew 
that  thou  nearest  me  always:   but 

because  of  the  people  which  stand 
by  1  said  it,  that  they  may  believe 
that  thou  hast  sent  me.  And  when 
he  thus  had  spoken,  he  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth 
And  he  that  was  dead  came  forth, 
bound  hand  and  foot  with  grave- 
clothes:  and  his  face  was  bound 
about  with  a  napkin.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them,  Loose  him,  and  let  him 

go. 

John   14:1-G,   12-21. 

LET  not  your  heart  be  troubled: 
ye  believe  in  God,  believe  also 
in  me.  In  my  Father's  house  are 
many  mansions:  it  it  were  not  so, 
I  would  have  told  you.  I  go  to  pre- 
pare a  place  for  you.  And  it  1  go 
and  prepare  a  place  for  you.  I  will 
come  again,  and  receive  you  unto 
myself;  thai  where  I  am,  there  ye 
may  be  also.  And  whither  I  go  ye 
know,  and  the  way  ye  know. 
Thomas  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  we 
know  not  whither  thou  gOCSt;  and 
how  can  we  know  the  way'.'  JeSUfl 
saith  unto  him,  I  am  the  way,  the 
truth,  and  the  life:  no  man  cometh 
unto     the     Father,     but     by     me. 

Verily,  verily,  I  Bay  unto  you,  He 
that  believeth  on  me,  the  works 

that    I    do    Shall    he    do    also;    and 

greater  worki  than  these  shall  he 

do;  because  I  go  unto  my  Father. 
And  wh  ball  ask  in  my 

name,  that    R  ill   1   do,  that   the   1  a 

thei  ma.   be  glorified  in  the  Son. 

If   ye   shall   ask    any    thing    in    my 


20 


name,  I  will  do  it.  If  ye  love  mo, 
keep  my  commandments.     And  1 

will  pray  the  Father,  and  he  shall 
give  you  another  Comforter,  that 
he  may  abide  with  you  for  ever; 
even  the  Spirit  of  truth;  whom  the 
world  cannot  receive,  because  it 
seeth  him  not,  neither  knoweth 
him:  but  ye  know  him;  for  he 
dwelleth  with  you,  and  shall  be  in 
you.  I  will  not  leave  you  com- 
fortless: I  will  come  to  you.  Yet 
a  little  while,  and  the  world  seeth 
me  no  more;  but  ye  see  me:  be- 
cause I  live,  ye  shall  live  also.  At 
that  day  ye  shall  know  that  I  am 
in  my  Father,  and  ye  in  me,  and  I 
in  you.  He  that  hath  my  com- 
mandments, and  keepeth  them,  he 
it  is  that  loveth  me:  and  he  that 
loveth  me  shall  be  loved  of  my 
Father,  and  I  will  love  him,  and 
will  manifest  myself  to  him.

John  21:15-17. 
O  when  they  had  dined,  Jesus 
saith  to  Simon  Peter,  Simon, 
son  of  Jonas,  loveat  thou  me  more 
than  these?  He  saith  unto  him, 
Yea,  Lord:  thou  knowest  that  I 
love  thee.  Ho  saith  unto  him, 
Feed  my  lambs.  He  saith  to  him 
again  the  second  time,  Simon,  son 
of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me?  He 
saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;  thou 
baowestthal  I  love  thee.  Hesaith 
unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep.  He 
saith  unto  him  the  third  time, 
Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou 
me?  Peter  was  grieved  because 
he  said  unto  him  the  third  time, 
Lovest  thou  me?  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Lord,  thou  knowest  all 
things;  thou  knowest  that  I  love 
thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Feed 
rny  Bheep. 

1   Cor.    1-13. 

THOUGH     I     speak     with     the 
tongues  of  men  and  of  angels, 
and  have  not   charity,   I   am  be- 


come as  sounding  brass,  or  a 
tinkling  cymbal.  And  though  I 
have  the  gift  of  prophecy,  and  un- 
derstand all  mysteries,  and  all 
knowledge;  and  though  I  have  all 
faith,  so  Athat  I  could  remove 
mountains,  and  have  not  charity, 
I  am  nothing.  And  though  I  be- 
stow all  my  goods  to  feed  the  poor, 
and  though  I  give  my  body  to  be 
burned,  and  have  not  charity,  it 
profiteth  me  nothing.  Charity 
suffereth  long,  and  is  kind;  charity 
envieth  not;  charity  vaunteth  not 
itself,  is  not  puffed  up,  doth  not 
behave  itself  unseemly,  seeketh 
not  her  own,  is  not  easily  pro- 
voked, thinketh  no  evil;  rejoic- 
eth  not  in  iniquity,  but  rejoiceth 
in  the  truth;  beareth  all  things, 
believeth  all  things,  hopeth  all 
things,  endureth  all  things.  Char- 
ity never  faileth:  but  whether 
there  be  prophecies,  they  shall  fail; 
whether  there^be  tongues,  theyshall 
cease;  whether  there  be  knowledge, 
it  shall  vanish  away.  For  we  know 
in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in  part. 
But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is 
come,  then  that  which  is  in  part 
shall  be  done  away.  When  I  waa 
a  child,  I  spake  as  a  child,  I  under- 
stood as  a  child,  I  thought  as  a 
child:  but  when  I  became  a  man, 
I  put  away  childish  things.  Foi 
now  we  see  through  a  glass,  darkly; 
but  then  face  to  face:  now  I  know 
in  part;  but  then  shall  I  know  even 
as  also  I  am  known.  And  now 
abideth  faith,  hope,  charity,  these 
three;  but  the  greatest  of  these  is 
charity. 


Rom.  8:31-30 

IF  God  be  for  us,  who  can  be 
against  us?  He  that  spared  not 
his  own  Son,  but  delivered  him  up 
for  us  all,  how  shall  he  not  with 
him  also  freely  give  us  all  things? 
Who  shall  lay  any  thing  to  the 
charge  of  God's  elect?     It  is  God 


21 


that    justifieth.      Who   is   he   that  as  sheep  for  the  slaughter.     Nay* 

oondemneth?      It    ia   Christ    that  in  all  these  things  ire  art-  mure 

died,    yea    rather,    that    is    risen  than  conquerors  through  him  that 

again,    who   is   even   at   the   right  loved   us.      For   I    am   persuaded, 

hand  of  God,  who  also  maketh  in-  that    neither   death,    nor   life,   nor 

tercession     for     us.       Who     shall  angels,      nor     principalities,     nor 

separate  us  from  the  love  of  Christ?  powers,    nor    things    present,    nor 

shall    tribulation,    or    distress,    or  things   to   come,    nor    height,   nor 

persecution,  or  famine,  or  naked-  depth,    nor    any    other    cTcature, 

ness,  or  peril,  or  sword?     As  it  is  shall  be  able  to  separate  us  from 

written,  For  thy  sake  we  are  killed  the  love  of  God,  which  is  in  Christ 

all  the  day  long;  we  are  accounted  Jesus  our  Lord.

ORDER  FOR  THE  RURIAL  OF  THE  DEAD 

f  In  the  absence  of  a  Chaplain  or  Minister  this  Order  may  be  used  by  any 
Christiaji  man.     It  may  be  abbreviated  as  necessity  requires. 

Tf  A  Hymn  may  be  sung. 

Chaplain: 

IN  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 
Amen. 

I  HEARD  a  voice  from  heaven  saying  unto  ine,  Write,  Blessed  are 
the  dead  which  die  in  the  Lord  from  henceforth:  Yea,  saith  the 
Spirit,  that  they  may  rest  from  their  labors;  and  their  works  do  follow 
them. 

Or: 

I  HAVE  fought  a  good  fight,  I  have  finished  my  course,  I  have  kept 
the  faith.  Henceforth  there  is  laid  up  for  me  a  crown  of  righteous- 
ness, which  the  Lord,  the  righteous  judge  shall  give  me  at  that  day; 
and  not  to  me  only  but  to  all  those  that  love  His  appearing. 

Or: 

ALL  flesh  is  grass  and  all  the  goodliness  thereof  as  the  flower  of  the 
field:    the  grass  withcreth,  the  flower  fadeth,  but  the  word  of  our 
God  shall  stand  forever.

Rom.  8  :  35-89;  I  Pet.  1  :  3-9. 

I  Thess.  4:14,  18. 

FOR  if  we  believe  that  Jesus  died  and  rose  again,  even  so  them  also 
which  sleep  in  Jesus  will  God  bring  with  him.    Wherefore  comfort 
one  another  with  these  words. 

John  5:24,  25. 

VERILY,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  heareth  my  word,  and  be- 
lieveth  on  him  that  sent  me,  hath  everlasting  life,  and  shall  not 
come  into  condemnation;  but  is  passed  from  death  unto  life.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The  hour  is  coming,  and  now  is,  when  the  dead 
shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God:   and  they  that  hear  shall  live. 

Rev.  21:3,  4. 

AND  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  heaven  .saying,  Behold,  the  taber- 
nacle of  God  is  with  men,  and  he  will  dwell  with  them,  and  they 
shall  be  his  people, and  God  himself  shall  be  with  them, and  be  their  God. 
And  God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears  from  their  eyes;  and  there  shall  be 
no  more  death,  neither  sorrow,  nnr  crying,  neither  shall  there  be  any 
more  pain:  for  the  former  things  arc  passed  away.

Nor  thorns  infest  the  ground ; 
He  comes  to  make  His  blessings  flow 
Far  as  the  curse  is  found. 

4  He  rules  the  world  with  truth  and  grace, 

And  makes  the  nations  prove 
The  glories  of  His  righteousness, 
And  wonders  of  His  love.

GREEN    HILL.     C.  M. 


Lent. 

THERE  is  a  green  hill  far  away, 
Outside  a  city  wall, 
Where  the  dear  Lord  was  crucified, 
Who  died  to  save  us  all. 

2  We  may  not  know,  we  cannot  tell, 

What  pains  He  had  to  bear; 
But  we  believe  it  was  for  us 
He  hung  and  suffered  there. 

3  He  died  that  we  might  be  forgiven, 

He  died  to  make  us  good, 
That  we  might  go  at  last  to  heaven, 
Saved  by  His  precious  Blood. 

4  There  was  no  other  good  enough 

To  pay  the  price  of  sin; 
He  only  could  unlock  the  gate 
Of  heaven,  and  let  us  in. 

fi  O,  dearly,  dearly  has  He  loved, 
And  we  must  love  Him  too, 
And  trust  in  His  redeeming  Blood, 
And  try  His  works  to  do.

Lent. 

0  SACRED  Head,  now  wounded, 
With  grief  and  shame  weighed  down, 
Now  scornfully  surrounded 

With  thorns,  Thy  only  crown! 
O  Sacred  Head,  what  glory, 

What  bliss,  till  now,  was  Thine! 
Yet,  though  despised  and  gory, 
I  joy  to  call  Thee  mine. 

2  How  art  Thou  pale  with  anguish, 

With  sore  abuse  and  scorn! 
How  does  that  visage  languish, 

Which  once  was  bright  as  morn! 
What  Thou,  my  Lord,  hast  suffered, 

Was  all  for  sinners'  gain; 
Mine,  mine  was  the  transgression, 

But  Thine  the  deadly  pain. 

3  Lo,  here  I  fall,  my  Saviour! 

'Tis  I  deserve  Thy  place! 
Look  on  me  with  Thy  favor. 

Vouchsafe  to  nif  Thy  grace. 
Receive  mo,  my  Redeemer; 

My  Shepherd,  make  me  Thine! 
Of  every  good  the  Fountain, 

Thou  art  the  Spring  of  mine! 

48 


What  language  shall  I  borrow 

To  thank  Thee,  dearest  Friend, 
For  this  Thy  dying  sorrow, 

Thy  pity  without  end! 
O  make  me  Thine  for  ever, 

And  should  I  fainting  be, 
Lord,  let  me  never,  never, 

Outlive  my  love  to  Thee. 


»   Be  near  when  I  am  dying; 

O!  show  Thy  Cross  to  me; 
Lord,  on  Thy  help  relying 

Come  Thou  and  set  me  free; 
These  eyes,  new  faith  reeeiving, 

From  Thee  shall  never  move; 
For  he  who  dies  believing 

Dies  safely  in  Thy  love.

Lent. 

WHEN  I  survey  the  wondrous  Cross 
On  which  the  Prince  of  Glory  died, 
My  richest  gain  I  count  but  loss, 
And  pour  contempt  on  all  my  pride. 

2  Forbid  it,  Lord,  that  I  should  boast, 

Save  in  the  Death  of  Christ,  my  God; 
All  the  vain  things  that  charm  me  most, 
I  sacrifice  them  to  His  Blood. 


3  See,  from  His  head,  His  hands,  His  feet, 
Sorrow  and  love  flow  mingled  down! 
Did  e'er  such  love  and  sorrow  meet, 
Or  thorns  compose  so  rich  a  crown? 


Were  the  whole  realm  of  nature  mine, 
That  were  a  tribute  far  too  small: 

Love  so  amazing,  so  divine, 

Demands  my  soul,  my  life,  my  all.

Easter. 

CHRIST,  the  Lord,  is  risen  to-day, 
Sons  of  men  and  angels  say; 
Raise  your  joys  and  triumphs  high; 
Sing,  ye  heavens,  and  earth,  reply, 
Love's  redeeming  work  is  done, 
Fought  the  fight,  the  battle  won; 
Lo!  the  Sun's  eclipse  is  o'er; 
Lo!  He  sets  in  blood  no  more. 


Vain  the  stone,  the  watch,  the  seal; 
Christ  hath  burst  the  gates  of  hell! 
Death  in  vain  forbids  His  rise; 
Christ  hath  opened  Paradise. 
Lives  again  our  glorious  King; 
Where,  O  death,  is  now  Thy  sting? 
Onre  He  died  our  souls  to  save; 
Where  thy  victory,  O  grave? 


Soar  we  now  where  Christ  hath  led, 
Following  our  exalted  Head; 
Made  like  Him,  like  Him  we  rise; 
Ours  the  cross,  the  grave,  the  skiea. 
Hail,  the  Lord  of  earth  and  heavenl 
Praise  to  Thee  by  both  be  given; 
Thee  we  greet  triumphant  now; 
Hail,  the  Resurrection  Thou!

JESUS  shall  reign  where'er  the  sun

Till  moons  shall  wax  and  wane  no  more.

Dwell  on  His  love  with  sweetest  song; 
And  infant  voices  shall  proclaim

And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 

3  Ye  seed  of  Israel's  chosen  race, 

Ye  ransomed  of  the  fall, 
Hail  Him  Who  saves  you  by  His  grace, 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 

4  Sinners,  whose  love  can  ne'er  forget 

The  wormwood  and  the  gall, 
Go,  spread  your  trophies  at  His  feet, 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 

5  Let  every  kindred,  every  tribe, 

On  this  terrestrial  ball, 
To  Him  all  majesty  ascribe, 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all.

We  at  His  feet  may  fall; 
We'll  join  the  everlasting  song 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all.

THE  King  of  love  my  Shepherd  is, 
Whose  goodness  faileth  never; 
I  nothing  lack  if  I  am  His 
And  He  is  mine  (or  ever. 


2  Where  streams  of  living  water  flow 
My  ransomed  soul  He  leadeth, 
And,  where  the  verdant  pastures  grow 
With  food  celestial  feedeth. 


3  Perverse  and  foolish,  oft  I  strayed, 

But  yet  in  love  He  sought  me, 
And  on  His  shoulder  gently  laid, 
And  home,  rejoicing,  brought  me. 

4  In  death's  dark  vale  I  fear  no  ill 

With  Thee,  dear  Lord,  beside  me, 
Thy  rod  and  staff  my  comfort  still, 
Thy  Cross  before  to  guide  me. 

5  Thou  spread'st  a  table  in  my  sight; 

Thy  unction  grace  bestoweth; 

And  O,  what  transport  and  delight 

From  Thy  pure  chalice  floweth! 

6  And  bo  through  all  the  length  of  days 

Thy  goodness  faileth  never; 
Good  Shepherd!  may  I  sing  Thy  praise 
Within  Thy  house  for  ever.

MY  faith  looks  up  to  Thee, 
Thou  Lamb  of  Calvary, 
Saviour  divine! 
Now  hear  me  while  I  pray: 
Take  all  my  guilt  away, 
O  let  me  from  this  day 
Be  wholly  Thine. 


3  While  life's  dark  maze  I  tread/ 
And  griefs  around  me  spread, 

Be  Thou  my  Guide; 
Bid  darkness  turn  to  day, 
Wipe  sorrowr's  tears  away, 
Nor  let  me  ever  stray 

From  Thee  aside. 


2  May  Thy  rich  grace  impart  4  When  ends  life's  transient  dream, 


Strength  to  my  fainting  heart, 

My  zeal  inspire; 
As  Thou  hast  died  for  me, 
O  may  my  love  to  Thee, 
Pure,  warm,  and  changeless  be, 

A  living  fire. 


When  death's  cold  sullen  stream 

Shall  o'er  me  roll; 
Blest  Saviour,  then,  in  love 
Fear  and  distrust  remove; 
O  bear  me  safe  above, 

A  ransomed  soul.

Joy  of  heaven,  to  earth  come  down! 
Fix  in  us  Thy  humble  dwelling, 

All  Thy  faithful  mercies  crown.

Pure  unbounded  love  Thou  art ; 
Visit  us  with  Thy  salvation, 
Enter  every  trembling  heart.

Into  every  troubled  breast 
Let  us  all  in  Thee  inherit, 

Let  us  find  Thy  promised  rest. 
Take  away  the  love  of  sinning;

Serve  Thee  as  Thy  hosts  above, 
Pray,  and  praise  Thee  without  ceasing, 

Glory  in  Thy  precious  love.

Pure  and  spotless  let  us  be; 
Lei  us  see  Thy  great  salvation 

Perfectly  restored  in  Thee! 
Changed  from  glory  into  glory, 

Till  in  heaven  we  take  our  place, 
Till  we  cast  our  crowns  before  Thee, 

Lost  in  wonder,  love,  and  praise.

Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee; 
Let  the  Water  and  the  Blood, 
From  Thy  riven  side  which  flowed, 
Be  of  sin  the  double  cure, 
Cleanse  me  from  its  guilt  andpower.

Can  fulfill  Thy  Law's  demands; 
Could  my  seal  bo  respite  know, 
Could  my  tears  for  over  flow, 
All  for  .sin  could  not  atone; 
Thou  must  save,  and  Thou  alone. 

3  Nothing  in  my  hand  I  bring, 
Simply  to  Thy  Cross  I  cling; 
Naked,  come  to  Thee  for  dress; 
Helpless,  look  to  Thee  for  grace; 
Foul,  1  to  the  fountain  fly; 
Wash  me,  Saviour,  or  I  die! 

4  While  1  draw  this  fleeting  breath, 
When  mine  eyelids  close  in  death, 
When  1  soar  to  worlds  unknown, 
See  Thee  on  Thy  judgment-throne, 
Rock  of  Ages,  cleft  for  me, 

Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee!

ONWARD,  Christian  soldiers, 
Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 

Going  on  before. 
Christ,  the  royal  Master, 
Leads  against  the  foe; 
Forward  into  battle, 
See,  His  banners  go! 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 

2  Like  a  mighty  army, 

Moves  the  Church  of  God: 
Brothers,  we  are  treading 

Where  the  saints  have  trod. 
We  are  not  divided, 

All  one  body  we, 
One  in  hope  and  doctrine, 

One  in  charity. 

3  Crown  and  thrones  may  perish, 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 
But  the  Church  of  Jesus 

Constant  will  remain. 
Gates  of  hell  can  never 

'Gainst  that  Church  prevail; 
We  have  Christ's  own  promise, 

And  that  cannot  fail. 

4  Onward,  then,  ye  faithful, 

Join  our  happy  throng, 
Blend  with  ours  your  voices, 

In  the  triumph-song; 
Glory,  laud,  and  honor, 

Unto  Christ  the  Kin«; 
This,  through  countless  ages, 

Men  and  angels  sing.

And  although  the  way  be  cheerless, 
We  will  follow,  calm  and  fearless; 
Guide  us  by  Thy  hand

If  the  foe  be  noar, 
Let  not  faithless  fears  o'ertake  us, 
Let  not  faith  and  hope  forsake  us;

To  our  home  we  go. 

When  we  Beek  relict 

From  a  long-felt  grief, 
When  temptations  come  alluring, 
Make  us  patient  and  enduring; 
Show  us  that  bright  shore 
Where  we  weep  no  more.

On  the  holy  ground, 
How  the  hosts  of  darkness

When  Thou  seest  me  waver, 

With  a  look  recall, 
Nor  for  fear  or  favor 
Suffer  me  to  fall. 


3  Should  Thy  mercy  send  me 

Sorrow,  toil,  and  woe; 
Or  should  pain  attend  me 

On  my  path  below; 
Grant  that  I  may  never 

Fail  Thy  hand  to  see; 
Grant  that  I  may  ever 

Cast  my  care  on  Thee.

Should  this  vain  world  charm, 
Or  its  tempting  treasures 

Spread,  to  work  me  harm, 
Bring  to  my  remembrance 

Sad  Gethsemano, 
Or,  in  darker  semblance, 

Cross-crowned  Calvary.

Fraught  with  strife  and  pain, 
When  my  dust  returneth 

To  the  dust  again;

Through  that  mortal  strife, 
Jesus,  take  me,  dying, 

To  eternal  life.

Think  what  Spirit  dwells  within  thee, 

What  a  Father's  smile  is  thine, 
What  a  Saviour  died  to  win  thee; 

Child  of  heaven,  shouldst  thou  repine?

Armed  by  faith  and  winged  by  prayer; 
Heaven's  eternal  day's  before  thee,

Yet  saints  their  watch  are  keeping, 

Their  cry  goes  up,  "How  long?" 
And  soon  the  night  of  weeping 

Shall  be  the  morn  of  song. 

4  'Mid  toil  and  tribulation, 

And  tumult  of  her  war, 
She  waits  the  consummation 

Of  peace  for  evermore;

And  the  great  Church  victorious 

Shall  be  the  Church  at  rest.

A  MIGHTY  Fortress  is  our  God, 
A  trusty  Shield  and  Weapon; 
He  helps  us  free  from  every  need 
That  hath  us  now  o'ertaken. 
The  old  bitter  foe 
Means  us  deadly  woe: 
Deep  guile  and  great  might 
Are  his  dread  arms  in  fight, 
On  earth  is  not  his  equal. 

With  might  of  ours  can  naught  be  done, 

Soon  were  our  loss  effected; 
But  for  us  fights  the  Valiant  One 
Whom  God  Himself  elected. 
Ask  ye,  Who  is  this? 
Jesus  Christ  it  is, 
Of  Sabaoth  Lord, 
And  there's  none  other  God, 
He  holds  the  field  for  ever.

He  can  harm  us  none, 

He's  judged,  the  deed  is  done, 

One  little  word  o'erthrows  him. 

The  Word  they  still  shall  let  remain, 

Nor  any  thanks  have  for  it, 
He's  by  our  side  upon  the  plain, 
With  His  good  gifts  and  Spirit, 
Take  they  then  our  life, 
Goods,  fame,  child,  and  wife; 
When  their  worst  is  done, 
They  yet  have  nothing  won, 
The  Kingdom  ours  remaineth.

No  thought  can  reach,  no  tongue  declare; 
Unite  my  thankful  heart  to  Thee, 

And  reign  without  a  rival  there. 
Thine  wholly,  Thine  alone  I  am; 
Be  Thou  alone  my  constant  flame. 
Unwearied,  may  I  this  pursue, 

Dauntless,  to  this  high  prize  aspire, 
Hourly  within  my  soul  renew 

This  holy  flame,  this  heavenly  fire; 
And  day  and  night  be  all  my  care 
To  guard  this  sacred  treasure  there!

JESUS,  Lover  of  my  soul,

While  the  nearer  waters  roll, 

While  the  tempest  still  is  high; 
Hide  me,  O  my  Saviour,  hide, 
Till  the  storm  of  life  is  past; 
Safe  into  the  haven  guide, 
O  receive  my  soul  at  last.

Hangs  my  helpless  soul  on  Thee; 
Leave,  ah,  leave  me  not  alone, 

Still  support  and  comfort  me.

All  my  help  from  Thee  I  bring;

With  the  shadow  of  Thy  wing.

Heal  the  sick,  and  lead  the  blind. 
Just  and  holy  is  Thy  Name, 

I  am  all  unrighteousness; 
False  and  full  of  sin  I  am, 

Thou  art  full  of  truth  and  grace. 

4  Plenteous  grace  with  Thee  is  found, 

Grace  to  cover  all  my  sin; 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound; 

Make  and  keep  me  pure  within. 
Thou  of  life  the  Fountain  art, 

Freely  let  me  take  of  Thee; 
Spring  Thou  up  within  my  heart, 

Rise  to  all  eternity.

AT  even  ere  the  sun  was  set, 
The  sick,  O  Lord,  around  Thee  lay; 
O,  in  what  divers  pains  they  met! 
O,  with  what  joy  they  went  away! 

2  Once  more  'tis  eventide,  and  we 

Oppressed  with  various  ills,  draw  near; 
What  if  Thy  form  we  cannot  see? 

We  know  and  feel  that  Thou  art  here. 

3  O  Saviour  Christ,  our  woes  dispel; 

For  some  are  sick  and  some  are  sad, 
And  some  have  never  loved  Thee  well; 
And  some  have  lost  the  love  they  had; 

4  And  some  are  pressed  with  worldly  care; 

And  some  are  tried  with  sinful  doubt; 
And  some  such  grievous  passions  tear, 
That  only  Thou  canst  cast  them  out; 

5  And  none,  O  Lord,  have  perfect  rest, 

For  none  are  wholly  free  from  sin; 
And  they  who  fain  would  serve  Thee  best 
Are  conscious  most  of  wrong  within. 

6  O  Saviour  Christ,  Thou  too  art  Man; 

Thou  hast  been  troubled,  tempted,  tried; 
Thy  kind  but  searching  glance  can  scan 
The  very  wounds  that  shame  would  hide; 

7  Thy  touch  has  still  its  ancient  power; 

No  word  from  Thee  can  fruitless  fall; 
Hear,  in  this  solemn  evening  hour, 
And  in  Thy  mercy  heal  us  all.

To  hide  Thee  from  Thy  servant's  eyes.

My  wearied  eyelids  gently  steep,

For  ever  on  my  Saviour's  breast.

For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die.

Through  cloud  and  sunshine,  O  abide  with  me.

Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness. 
Where  is  death's  sting?    Where,  grave,  thy  victory? 
I  triumph  still,  if  Thou  abide  with  me!

Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to  the  skies;

In  life,  in  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me.

I  loved  to  choose  and  see  my  path;  but  now 

Lead  Thou  me  on; 
I  loved  the  garish  day,  and,  spite  of  fears, 
Pride  ruled  my  will.    Remember  not  past  years. 

3  So  long  Thy  power  has  blessed  me,  sure  it  still 

Will  lead  me  on 
O'er  moor  and  fen,  o'er  crag  and  torrent,  till 

The  night  is  gone; 
And  with  the  morn  those  angel  faces  smile 
Which  I  have  loved  long  since,  and  lost  awhile!

0  MOTHER  dear,  Jerusulem! 
When  shall  I  come  to  thee? 
When  shall  my  sorrows  have  an  end? 
Thy  joys  when  shall  I  see? 

101 


O  happy  harbor  of  God's  saints! 

O  sweet  and  pleasant  soil! 
In  thee  no  sorrow  can  be  found, 

No  grief,  no  care,  no  toil. 


'  No  murky  cloud  o'ershadows  thee, 

Nor  cold  nor  darksome  night; 
There  every  soul  shines  as  the  sun, 

For  God  Himself  gives  light. 
O  my  sweet  home  Jerusalem, 

Thy  joys  when  shall  I  see? 
The  king  that  sitteth  on  thy  throne 

In  His  felicity? 


3  Thy  gardens  and  thy  gallant  walks 

Continually  are  green, 
There  grow  such  sweet  and  pleasant  flowers 

As  nowhere  else  are  seen. 
Quite  through  thy  streets,  with  silver  sound. 

The  flood  of  life  doth  flow, 
Upon  whose  banks,  on  either  side, 

The  wood  of  life  doth  grow. 


4  There  trees  for  evermore  bear  fruit, 

And  evermore  do  spring; 
There  evermore  the  nngels  are, 

And  evermore  do  sing. 
Jerusalem,  my  happy  home, 

Would  God  I  were  in  thee; 
Would  God  my  woes  were  at  an  end, 

Thy  joys  that  I  might  see!

THE   STAR-SPANGLED    BANNER. 

OH,  nay,  can  you  sec,  by  the  dawn's  early  light, 
What  M  proudly  we  hailed  at  the  twilight's  last  gleaming, 
WhOM  broad  stripes  and  bright  stars,  through  tin*  perilous  fight, 

O'er  the  ramparts  we  watched,  were  so  gallantly  streaming? 

And  the  rockets'  red  glare,  the  bombs  bursting  in  air, 

Qave  proof  through  the  night  that  our  I  lag  was  still  there; 

Cho. — Oh,  say,  do.s  that  Star-spangled  Banner  still  wave 

O'er  the  land  of  the  free,  and  the  home  of  the  brave? 

102 


2  On  the  shore  dimly  seen  through  the  mints  of  the  deep. 

Where  the  foe's  haughty  host  in  dread  silence  reposes. 
What  is  that  which  the  breeze,  o'er  the  towering  steep, 

As  it  fitfully  blows,  half  conceal*,  half  discloses? 
Now  it  catches  the  gleam  of  the  morning's  first  beam, 

In  full  glory  reflected,  now  shines  on  the  stream: 

Cho. — Tis  the  Star-spangled  Banner:  oh,  long  may  it  wave 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free,  and  the  home  of  the  brave. 

3  Oh,  thus  be  it  ever  when  freemen  shall  stand 

Between  their  loved  home  and  wild  war's  desolation; 
Blest  with  victory  and  peace,  may  the  heaven-rescued  land 

Praise  the  Power  that  hath  made  and  preserved  us  a  nationl 
Then  conquer  we  must,  when  our  cause  it  is  just, 

And  this  be  our  motto:  "In  God  is  our  trust!" 

Cho. — And  the  Star-spangled  Banner  in  triumph  shall  wave 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free,  and  the  home  of  the.  brave.

BATTLE  HYMN  OF  THE  REPUBLIC. 

MINE  eyes  have  seen  the  glory  of  the  coming  of  the  Lord; 
He  is  tramping  out  the  vintage  where  the  grapes  of  wrath  are 
stored; 
He  hath  loosed  the  fateful  lightning  of  His  terrible  swift  sword! 
His  truth  is  marching  on. 

Glory,  glory,  hallelujah! 
Glory,  glory,  hallelujah! 
Glory,  glory,  hallelujah! 
His  truth  is  marching  on. 

2  I  have  seen  Him  in  the  watch-fires  of  a  hundred  circling  camps; 

They  have  builded  Him  an  altar  in  the  evening  dews  and  damps; 
I  have  read  His  righteous  sentence  by  the  dim  and  flaring  lamps; 
His  truth  is  marching  on. 

3  He  has  sounded  forth  the  trumpet  that  shall  never  call  retreat; 

He  is  sifting  out  the  hearts  of  men  before  His  judgment-seat; 
Oh,  be  swift,  my  soul,  to  answer  Him!  be  jubilant,  my  feet! 
Our  God  is  marching  on. 

4  In  the  beauty  of  the  lilies  Christ  was  born  across  the  sea, 

With  a  glory  in  His  bosom  that  transfigures  you  and  me; 
As  He  died  to  make  men  holy,  let  us  die  to  make  men  free, 
While  God  is  marching  or>.

THE   RED,    WHITE    AND   BLUE. 

OH,  Columbia,  the  gem  of  the  ocean, 
The  home  of  the  brave  and  the  free, 
The  shrine  of  each  patriot's  devotion, 

A  world  offers  homage  to  thee; 
Thy  mandates  make  heroes  assemble, 

When  Liberty's  form  stands  in  view; 
Thy  banners  make  tyranny  tremble, 

When  borne  by  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
When  borne  by  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
When  borne  by  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
Thy  banners  make  tyranny  tremble, 

When  borne  by  the  red,  white  and  blue. 

2  When  war  winged  its  wide  desolation, 

And  threatened  the  land  to  deform, 
The  ark  then  of  freedom's  foundation, 

Columbia,  rode  safe  thro'  the  storm: 
With  the  garlands  of  victory  around  her, 

When  so  proudly  she  bore  her  brave  crew. 
With  her  flag  proudly  floating  before  her, 

The  boast  of  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
The  boast  of  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
The  boast  of  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
With  her  flag  proudly  floating  before  her, 

The  boast  of  the  red,  white  and  blue. 

3  The  Star-spangled  Banner  bring  hither, 

O'er  Columbia's  true  sons  let  it  wave; 
May  the  wreaths  they  have  won  never  wither, 

Nor  Its  stars  cease  to  shine  on  the  brave; 
May  the  service  united  ne'er  sever, 

But  hold  to  their  colors  so  true; 
The  Army  and  Navy  forever, 

Three  cheers  for  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
Three  cheers  for  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
Three  cheers  for  the  red,  white  and  blue, 
The  Army  and  Navy  forever, 

Three  cheers  for  the  red.  white  and  blue.

THE    APOSTLES     CREED 

I  BELIEVE  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker 
of  Heaven  and  earth. 

And  in  Jesus  Christ  His~only  Son,  our  Lord;  Who 
was  conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin 
Mary;  Suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate,  Was  crucified, 
dead,  and  buried;  He  descended  into  hell;  The  third 
day  He  rose  again  from  the  dead;  He  ascended  into 
heaven,  And  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the 
Father  Almighty;  From  thence  He  shall  come  to 
judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  The  holy  Christian 
Church,  the  Communion  of  Saints;  The  Forgiveness 
of  sins;  the  Resurrection  of  the  body;  And  the  Life 
everlasting.     Amen. 

THE   LORD'S   PRAYER 

OUR  Father,  who  art  in  heaven;  Hallowed  be 
Thy  Name;  Thy  kingdom  come;  Thy  will  be 
done  on  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven;  Give  us  this  day 
our  daily  bread;  And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  as 
we  forgive  those  who  trespass  against  us;  And  lead 
us  not  into  temptation;  But  deliver  us  from  evil; 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the 
glory,  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

GLORIA   PATRI 

GLORY  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to 
the  Holy  Ghost:  as  it  was  in  the  beginning, 
is  now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without  end. 
Amen. 

DOXOLOGY 

PRAISE  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow; 
Praise  Him,  all  creatures  here  be'ow; 
Praise  Him  above,  ye  heavenly  host ; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.
